i have been at work for four hours and fifty minutes and am just now eating breakfast. i came in so early to try to reduce the overlap with other employees but in vain, someone was here already when i got here, and then of course the store opened at ten. but, in between the earlybird leaving and the normies arriving i did have a free hour in which i got to drink the coffee i’d left the house with instead of sitting to drink peacefully at home with the cat yelling nonstop as she has been since we got back into town on saturday.

if they lockdown in NYS again and make us curbside pickup only the boss says he won’t stay open. but he will leave the online dep’t open. as i work in the online dep’t primarily, this means that if we lockdown i still gotta come in. this is fine, i need to work, but it also sucks, as i don’t need to work as bad as the people who’ll be laid off again.

they had a covid scare while i was gone and everyone got tested and came back negative except the one guy who’s telling us he didn’t hear back yet which like, clearly he has to have heard back, why hasn’t he told us… is it that he was positive? should everyone get retested if he’s positive? i don’t fucking know. (an employee tested positive, but he only works saturdays and hadn’t overlapped with anyone… except the guy we haven’t heard back from, who overlaps with literally everyone and worked with the sick kid the last day he came in before the kid’s roommate got his positive test back and the kid started isolating and then got his own positive test back too, joys)

death’s head emoji fifty times

i sort of want to give my job away to the other transfers girl. because i know they’ll try to get me trained on all the transfers and do that along with online stuff, if i’m here and nobody else but the other online guy is. i don’t really want that.

what do i want? i want to get locked down again and stay in my house!! sorry to all of you who don’t want that, as it’s clearly not up to me anyway! extra-sorry to all of you who won’t ever get locked down because i know your pain! i want to sit at home and learn to spin and make weird textile art and write stupid novels!

sigh

i’ve just about finished my work, and i’m contemplating going home and doing this same schedule tomorrow. and i’m doubling-down on my isolation, because if Non-Responsive Guy tests positive then everyone else should get re-tested, and I know they won’t, and fuck, they all think I’m a pariah for traveling over thanksgiving but they are a Hotbed of Disease in this joint even though everyone’s trying hard. At least, though, if I get it now, I’m not going to spread it to the farm, since I literally don’t know when or if I’ll ever be seeing them again.

I’ll be home for Christmas, if only in my dreams…
